Each US Youth Soccer ODP Regional team will play against four Costa Rican First Divisionteams - Alajuela, Saprissa, Arenal Coronado, and the U-17 Costa Rican National Team.

Some of the nation’s finest youth players in the US Youth Soccer ODP program have benefited by playing abroad in Costa Rica, as well as other international locations such as Spain, Germany, Croatia and Brazil. The international competition further develops players by allowing them to test their talents in other environments, giving them the opportunity to experience playing styles in other countries and providing them with an invaluable cultural experience.

The US Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program mimics the U.S. National Team system by bringing together the top players from various clubs and geographic locations, putting players in an environment to train and compete at the highest level.

US Youth Soccer ODP is the original Olympic development program and with programs in all 55 US Youth Soccer State Associations, is available to any player regardless of club or hometown. US Youth Soccer ODP is the only elite player development program that can claim members of Major League Soccer and the National Women’s Soccer League, as well as the majority of current and past national and youth national team members, as alumni.
